Book Reviews of On the Sensations of Tone (Dover Books on Music)

Book Review: A Classic Treatise on Sound
Summary: 5 Stars

"On The Sensations of Tone," by Hermann Von Helmholtz is a classic treatise on the physics of sound. and how it is the foundation of musical structure. For many years I have wanted this book, and now I
have it. The science of sound is the same today as it was in the 1800's when this book was written. It
is a must have for anyone involved in audio or musical instruments. This is a big book, lots of valuable material. The fact that it is still available is a blessing. I can't put it down.
